Abstract

Gaming systems (10), methods, and devices for determining or verifying the outcome of a card game, for example the card game of Baccarat. The systems, methods, and devices can be used in conjunction with the card game to enhance security by optically imaging the hands of playing cards dealt or by optically reading a set of cards to determine the outcome of each game that can be played from that set of cards. The playing cards (41) each have at least one encoded symbol comprised of machine-readable indicia (42). The gaming system can include a card shoe-reader (24) alone, a card shoe-reader in combination with at least one card hand-reader (26, 28), or various other embodiments to include other devices such as a discard reader or a bet recognition device (30). The optically imaged playing cards can be processed within a computing system to allow the authentication of the playing cards.
